No Visitor Policy
As we move through the year and work to ensure that our students are safe and healthy, SHS needs to adhere fully to our district's "no visitors policy". The policy is that no visitors are allowed inside our building (aside from quickly entering and exiting the main, attendance, and business offices) while students are present. For SHS, this means that no visitors may enter the building from 7:15am - 3:30 pm, and all meetings that need to occur are to be virtual over Zoom or Google Meets.
For a person or family who is not logistically able to attend the meeting virtually, please work with the meeting facilitator (Counselor, Learning Specialist, Administrator) to make the meeting accessible for you and your family. In-person meeting preference is not a reason for us to bypass this policy. Visitors include, but are not limited to, family members of students, vendors of goods and services, guest speakers, or anyone who is not a student or staff member.
Picking up Students During School
If you need to pick up your student during school hours, it would be greatly appreciated if you can notify the attendance office in advance by sending your student with a signed note from the parent/guardian and have the student exchange it for a “release from class” pass at the attendance office, before school or during a passing time .
Parents, new this year, please report attendance absences to the following email address SherwoodHigh_Notification@sherwood.k12.or.us
Take some time to refresh yourself on our attendance policies here.
Safety
As a reminder, please have your student bring 3 masks to school daily. So that students have a back up in case their mask breaks, gets dirty, or lost.

Virtual college visits are scheduled to start in October! They will be hosted in the Career Center on Wednesdays during lunch and after school.
